ALUMINA AND ALUMINUM By L. O. HOWARD. M. B.

The production of aluminum III the United States has increased by leaps and bounds, to koop pa;;;e with the increasing uses of this metal. In 1901 only 7,150,000 pounds was recorded, and as late as 1907, but 17,211,000 pounds wa3 produced, while in 1908, production fell to 11,152,000 pound1!. In 1911 this was increased to 46,125,000 pounds. In 1911 the market price ranged from eighteen and one·half to twenty-two c€ n ts per pound. At preoont the quotation is twentyt-five and one half to twenty-six cents.

The chief source of aluminum has been the mineral ·bauxite, the hydrous oxide of aluminum, which, in the pure state, con;talns about 40 per cent aluminum. Practically all of the bauxite used came from Arkansas, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee; some 155,618 ,long tons having been produced In 1911, of an average value of $4.82 per ton.

Durville uses 0.05 to 5 per cent of lllil.nganese to purify an alloy contain­ ing 86 to 95 per cent copper and 6 to 11 .per cent of aluminum, making the resUltant product much harder and more malleable. Very sound ingots are made. which can be easily drawn, rolled, forged or stamped. An alloy of 78 per cent aluminum, 8 per cent copper and 5 per cent tin can be easily and cheaply cast in ,shap€:3 that w!ll be homogeneous, free from dross and of such a density that they will not require pressing The percent of tin must not exceed that of copper. Duralumin, containing about 91 per cent aluminum, is making rapid, strides, being used for frame. for airships, combining grea~ elasticity and strength with lightness. Extraction of Aluminum from Bauxite.

As before stated, practically all the alu· minum produced come3 from ·bauxite. In its extraction it is necessary to convert the aluminum hydra:e, bauxite, to the alumni· num oxide, alumina. This is done by dis· solving the bauxite in caustic soda, precip' Itating alumina with other alumina, filtering, washing, drying and ealcining to cherry red heat. A hard anhydrous alumina re­ sults. The details of the metallurgy of alumino urn are usually not given out very freely, but the general outline given herein indi­ cates the nature of the process now in use. At the works of the British Aluminum company, at Greenoch and Kinlochleven', the alumina, as prepared above, i:3 put into the hearth of an electric furnace, with the exceedingly tusi'ble cryolite, a calcium alu­ minum flUOride. Alumina alone is infus· ible at the heats used. The bath aids in the fUSion. Carbon electrodes, ten Inches square and arranged in set3 of twelve, taking fifty volts, are introduced into the molten electrolyte of alumina and cryolite, Which rests on a cast iron grid, the inter­ stices of whiCh are filled with rammed car­ bon. This hearth forms (he cathode Where the carbon anodes come in contact with the bath, metallic aluminum is produced, by the reduction of the alumina, aud carbon gases and hydrofluoric acid -gas from the cryolite are gil'en off. The aluminum falls to the bottom of the furnace, whence it may be tapped. The me':al is about 99.5 per cent pure, from an alumina 99.9 per cent pure, when pure electrodes are used. The metal is remelted and cast in ingots. The cost of the process as carried out at this plant 13 given as follows, per long ton: Energy, $25.00; carbon, $32.50; alu· mina, $140.00, and general expense and profit $140.00. making a total of $337.50 or a little over fifteen cents per pound of alu· minum.

THE METALLURGY OF LEAD I By H. B. PULSIFER

FLUE·DUST, FUME AND ACID.

In the blast furnaces in a lead smeltery three di'Stinct types of material rise from the top of the charge column and pass into the fiues; granular particles carried out by the draft, substances vaporized In the heat and condensed to a floating fume, and gases. The same sorts of material also come from all roasters, although the relative propor· tions and chemical characteristics of the constituents may be entirely different.

The most advanced continental prac­ tice i3 to condense as much fume from the furnace gases a1ll possible by water or the use of long flues, and make acid from the roaster gases American plants commonly bag the fume and discharge the furnace

At Utah, by a subtle method of neutralizing the Frledrlchshutte, in Silesia, they spray with acid in the gas, they now filter ali furnace water to precipitate the fine dust, and and roaster gases through woolen bags, and largely absorb the sulphurous gas In lime are able not only to recover aU of the water.

Many of tJ are raised only to the surface and fal! Ii to eventually settle and be fmed';' 81 particles are carried further, and, once ( the threshold of the down-take, fall into flue, to become a part of that material wI we designate as flue dust. Many partI will be coarse and heavy, ready to roll the floor of the down·take into the hOI already provided at its base; other parti wlIl be smaller and carried some diata before settling, while some wI!! need q a 10urney before finaliy settling. Of alI solid material which escapes through top of the furnace, more than half likely be of this coarsely granular mate] which will settle out in a roomy fiue wil a hundred feet of the furnaces. There is, of course, no sharp line of marcation to limit the depOSition of " ular material. Some fume will condense It and settle out with it, but beyond immediate neighborhood of the furnace: falls off sharply in amount. The amo greatly depends on the physical charae of the charge and whether the furn. work quleth or are addicted to blowing'1 blowholes. Five per cent Is not an ei. slve percentage of the charge to be bit out from low lead charges; from furns smelting high lead charges this woulcf .; excessive. The coarse flue dust requires aggloIIH tion before it can be returned to the bl furnace. The usual method of treatm is to sinter in a reverberatory fUrnace to briquette. a satisfactory procedure, roaster fiue dust or other binder Is ad. to insure firm briquettes.

The surprising .bag-hou3e ot the United States Smelting company, at its Midvale, Utah, plant began operation in August, 1908, and Is still the foremost in­ stallation for fume treatment that exists. Another process which offers prom!3e of usefulness in fume condensation is that de­ veloped by Cottrell, of our Bureau of }.fines; a method of electrical precipitation. 1t Is daily doing wonders along other lines of dust elimination,. but is not yet used on a large scale in any lead smeltery. In Europe the attempts at settling fume have been carried to the extreme in the building of chambers and fiues, both large and long. It was early found that hot rgases did not allow the suspeuded particles to cohere and accumulate in~o aggregate. which would settle rapidly. The coolIng of the gases has accordingly received much attention, as preliminary to the real worl!; of settling. The particular efficacy of sur­ faces was also apparent and founa expres­ sion In rooms filled with sU3pended plates, after the patents of ]'reudenberg; in flues filled with suspended wires as invented by ROSing, and in the multiple fiues of Cow­ per. None of these devices fully eliminated fume, the amount escaping still amounting to a good many tonl! per year for each of the smaII furnaces in operation. The collecting of the fume in brush or coke towers, or by mel\ns of steam or water sprays, or by forcing the gases to pass through or come in intimate contact with water can be carried to completion. This has been done at various times in cer­ tain smaII plants, but for large plants many complications present themselves and there has been little promise of financial success. The difficulty with all wet condensation arises from the fume being repelled by the liquid; the energetic phY'Sical expenditure neoossary to overcome this, and foree con­ tact and absorption, costs so much that it requires more than the worth of alI the fume COllected. In the United States we began the bag­ house practice with cotton bags. They

were about twenty feet long and twenty inches in diameter, each bag being suspend­ ed from the rafters and it3 bottom tied about a thimble, so that the gases could readily enter from below While filtering, and the fume be shaken down through at clean­ ing time. &th the ample bag space above and the basement below were divided by partitions, to admit of the necessary clean­ ing of a bay at a time without shutting down the smelting operation. The smeltery at Denver attained so much success that the system was adopted rap­

idly in most American plants. Iles, who devotes a scintillating chapter to the sub­ ject of "Smoke," descri,bes the importance of the bag-house as follows: "The success­ ful installation of the bag-house, for COl­ lecting, fume from furnaces smelting lead, gold, and silver ores, marks the greatest step taken in metallurgy during the cen­ tury." No particular difficulty was attached to introducing the new process on all gases from lead blast furnaces. Before entering the bag-house the gases should be cooled to about 100 degrees C.; higher tempera­ tures cause the bags to fail, while too much

cooling makes moisture condense on the bags. This also is fatal. The average tem­ perature of 1he gases entering the fan just ·before the bag-house at the Murray plant averages close to 100 degrees F.* This is rather low as shown by condensation In the s~acks, which had to be kept from dripping down on the bags. At the Midvale plant, cooling air is admitted to the pipes when­ ever the temperature of the gases exceeds 100 degrees C. At this plant the fiues are much shorter and, during the summer months, there Is often some effort needed ."Notes on Bag Filtration Planls," by Anton Eilers. Int. Congo App. Chem., 1912.

to keep the gas temperature low enough. Cotton bags proved unsatisfactory here, as in other plants, and it was not long before they began to be replaced with woolen bags. Gotton bags cost about $2 apiece and the woolen ones some $5 apiece; for the grand total of 3,340 bags required, this makes a difl'erence in cost of $10,OOG In favor of the cotton bags in initial cost. But the cost and trouble of renewals puts the balance far on the side of the woolen bags; where coEon bags required renewal at .the rate of several hundred a month, the woolen bags now last Indefinitely, months having elapsed without a single woolen bag being put out of commis,Bion. Time will, of course, determine the average life of the woolen bags and, however great 'the actual cash ad­ vantage of such bags, there will always be the added technical advantage that woolen requires llttle attention and gives uninter­ rupted filtration. The moment a bag tears in a section which Is in use some fume escapes through the stack and is visible. Under normal conditions there should be absolutely no smoke visible from the stack, so the condi­ tion of operationls violated whenever a bag breaks. If several bags break, either simul­ taneously or in succession, the effect is worse; and when bags break many at R time and continuously, as they have been known to do, it requires much talent to make 'the repair.a. One section at a time has to be thrown out of use, the air in the section is quickly changed by a special fan and well-protected men enter to search out and change the bags. Thi1l is not only disagreeable but dangerous work; the won­ der of it is that men hold to such a job for months, or even year,s, apparently )ittIe damaged by the daily contact with the poi­ sonous lead and arsenic fume. The gases from lead blast furnaces nor­ mally contain no sulphur trioxide (sulphur trioxide forms sulphuric acid when moist­ ened) and very little sulphur dioxide. In hi. Investigations of the Harz furnaces, Wal­ deck found no sulphur dioxide or hydrogen sulphide In the gas. Hofman mentions that the largest amount found by \Schertel in the Freiberg blast furnace gases was fifteen· hundredths of one per cent. The amount I. so small as to be commonly neglected, when the composition of the gases is stated. The furnace gases at nearly every plant are so diluted with air at the furnace mouth that the small amount originally present is of little Significance by the time the gas is discharged from the bag-house stack. The gas at the Murray plant is 'said to contain an average of .04 of one per cent sulphur dioxide, an amount distinctly perceptible by its odor, but far too dilute to aIfect vegeta,.­ tion. The cotton bags in the bag-house lasted, on an avera-ge, seventeen mouths and eleyen days,· and the life of the woolen ·Loc. cit.

bags installed since has not yet been de· termlned. The gases from roasting operations nat· urally contain a very much greater per· centage of Bulphur dioxide than do furnace gases; they also contain very appreciable amounts of the more harmful sulphur tri­ oxide. In agricultural districts, the custom now exists of diluting these gases, until there is less than .75 of one per cent pres­ ent when the gas is finally delivered to the atmosphere. It is also the custom to de­ liver these gases at a height of at least 200 feet above the ground. At the Murray plant, the roaster gases are cooled by passage through an exceptionally long flue; Incidentally there is mUch dilution and, as a flnal precaution, the gas passes through an air-cooled set­ tling chamber. Even after passing the 1,800-foot flue and traversing the settling chamber, a heavy cloud of fume laues from the 200-foot stack. All the flue dust proper, and much of the fume and aCid, has been settled by this treatment; the illustration shows what <still escapes ·to float or settle over the highly cultivated fields of the val· ley. During the non-growing season, a by­ pass allows the gas to enter the stack dl· rectly; this short connection is also avail­ able in calSe of emergency, such as neces.­ sary repairs to the great fan at the base of the stack. During such times, the draft for the roasting furnace Is much better than when the long fiue and fan is used. The remarkable process used at the Mid· vale plant of the United States Smelting company I,ll best told and illustrated by the words of the inventor, ·Mr. Clarence B. Sprague, from his patents Nos. 984498 and 992391 : "I have found that a complete neutraliza­ tion of the corrosive acid compounds In the smoke maY' be best secured by intermingling zinc oxide fume with the smoke. The zinc oxide fume may be produced by roasting zinc ore in a special furnace, arranged to discharge the zinc oxide fume produced therein into the flue, through which" the acid smoke is passing. The fine particles of zinc oxide fume and non-corrosive com· pounds formed, come into cntact with all the minute particles of corrosive acid eom­ pound, and unite with these to form non­ corrosive compounds. I have also discov­ ered that, in roasting or otherwise treating sulpllide ores, the composition of which is such that, with the methods heretofore practiced, the smoke produced would con­ tain sulphuri{l acid and other corrosive com­ pounds in such quantities as to render their filtration through fabric impracticable, the fumes and galSes may be neutralized and their filtration through fabric rendered prac­ ticable, by adding to the charge to be treated a substance of such a character that It will, during treatment of the charge, produce a neutralizing agent which mingles with the gases and fumes from too maftl ~·t,to~

under treatment. Any suitable substance which, when added to the charge within the ore treating furnace, will produce a neutralizing agent having the property of neutralizing aCids and the acidity of acid salts, Or of decomposing the soluble lIIalts of heavy metals, such as iron and copper when in solution, may be employed. I pre­ fer, however, to employ an ore or substauce which, during the treatment of the charge, will produce a zinc oxide, since I have found that this oxide is especially effective in neutralizing the sulphuric acid aJld other corrosive compounds produced in the .treat· ment of the main body of ore. In roasting or otherwise treating ores, which are of such a composition that the smoke produced WOUld, under the usual practice, contain comparatively large quan­ tities of sulphuric acid and other corr08ive compounds, the neutralization of the smoke may be effectively accomplished, by mix. ing with the ore to be treated the requisite quantity of a zinc ore, which, during the

The utiliZation of fine ores In blast fur­ naces has made a rapid advance in recent years, eSJ.)ecially In the treatment of lead ores. This is especially marked in the sin­ teling process which converts the fine mil.· terial, so easily blown out of a furnace, into a firm porous lump, which is an ideal feed. The sintering process has advanced through the usual stages of hand labor and awkward manipulation of an intermittent process to a continuous mechanical opera­ tion which is Simplicity itself. Old meth­ ods involving much hand labor cannot per· sist in the face of mechanical devices. Sin­ tering has now joined roasting and smelt­ ing in the abolition of hand labor and the use of continuous operations, which is but a sign of the indWltrlal progress which char­ acterizes the present age. The metallurgy of lead has lagged far be· hind that of copper in this respect, but now bids fair to come Into its own. We may lOok for replacement of the intermittent smelting of zinc by continu­ ous processes. For a long time, it has been thought that the peculiar requirements of zinc metallurgy, ·a strong reducing atmos­ phere, concentrated zinc vapor and absolute control of condensing temperatures, could only be met in small retorts. The rapid ad­ vance in the art of electric smelting may upset .this iron-clad proceedure.

o ADVANCES IN

METALLURG~

For many years the mechanical features of lead smelteries have appeared antiquated to those metallurgists who have studied them. Some plants are still characterized by the hand-feeding of blast furnaces; In others where charge cars are used, the car is hoisted to the furnace top with the ex­ penditure f(f much power, labor and time, and with constantly recurring trouble. This situation is not without reason, however, and may be accounted for by the fact that most of the plants were erected years ago and reconstruction is always costly and not always feasible, so that what appears as waste at first sight is justified under the conditions. When the plants were erected sites, which could be easily utilized for mechanical handling by gravity, were not so much considered, and are not, there­ fore, adapted to the more modern methods. The great advance to be noted in one of the Utah plauts is due to the ability to take adVantage of a favorable site and to put in the improvements in mechanical handling which are possible In a new plant, but often not feasible when the plant has been arranged without having this end in view. Utah can now point to the most modern smeltery in the world, mechanically con­ sidered, and it is reasonable to suppose that the metallurgical features will be as well adVanced.

LOW GRADE IM·INES,

In the early history Qf mining in this western countn' all endeavor was directed to the discovery of mines productive of high. grade ore. As a. usual thing, such proJ.)er­ ties, when found, corusisted of small veins and ledges, for it is an uncommon thing to find large bodies of sensationally rich ore. In those days mines productive of lowgrade ore could not ·be handled successfully, and at a prOfit, principalIy because of excessive C03ts in transportation, and very largely be· cause metallurgical processes, in tIlose daY'S, were so crude, or so absolutely lack· ing, that the ore could nO.t be treated on the ground to advantage. It is different now, as freight charges have been so re­ duced, transportation facilities ISO greatly improved, and miIling methods advanced to such an exact science that almost any mine, productive of $6 and $8 ore, can now be op­ erated to advantage and at a handsome mar· gin or profit. As a matter of fact, the low­ grade mine is a most important factor in mining operations. At the present time it is the big lowgrade proposition that appeals to the experienced mining man and the mill man; and, 1113 a general thing, it is pro· ducers of this character that are now paying the largest dividends, and which will con­ tinue to produce, profitably, long after the rich, but small mine, has become exhausted. We know that the hlghgrade mine ranks as a general favorite Incertaln drcles, and

,

that people will go into raptures over a few inches of exceedingly highgrade ore; but, in the long run, the mine with vast bodieS of milling ore in its working will win out and malntain a paying basis long after th~ small vein of shipping ore has been ex­ hausted. And, it has been truly stated that a foot of ore that yields $40 to $50 to to the ton is not to be compared in value, and source of profit, to the eight or ten-foot body of $5 and $10 ore. In the mining of the small vein but few men can be employed, while a .great amount of dead work must be per­ formed In order to mine the highgrade rock. In a large zone of lowgrade or milling ore a small a.rmy of men maybe employed in .mining operations. CroSIS-culls, drifts, up-raises and winzes can be driven on the ore, and thousands of tons extracted at a nominal cost and without the waste incident to the operation of a mine where Dame Na­ ture has deposited her treasure in small but rich veins. In these days, the investor, in seeking a produCing and paying mine, is generally much more favurably impressed with a great lowgrade proposition than he is with a mine having rich ore, but in small velru or bodies. Nearly all of the really great mining camps of the west are IOWgrade pro­ positions; the rich mines, which have made fortunes for their owners, being exceptions to the general rule. Furthermore, the low· grade mine is much better for a camp than is a highgrade producer, as such a mine nece1l3itates the employment of many men, the erection of mills, smeitersand reduc· tion works, while more money is in circu­ lation as a result, and the masses, accord­ ingly, are ·benefitted to a greater degree than is the case of a camp posse3sed of~ mines having only small veins of rich ore. ---~o)_--­

DOES THE LAW PROTECT?

One would naturally suppose that laws, When enacted, would be for the protection of the people, and that when an Individual had complied with every requirement of the law. that the government would protect him in his rights and his Interests. But does it? Take the mining man, for instance. Hd makes a location on unoccupied mineral land. He lives up to every requirement of the law, or laws, governIng the location of mining claims. He might feel that his loca· tion is safe from intrusion, beca.use, from every point of view he In a position to claim protection from the government in his rights. False assnmption. For th'e govern­ ment, seeminglY', has no more interest in his welfare than if he never existed, and ev1ncM an unwillingness to aid him that is marvelous, as well as scandalous. For instance, the claim of the locator is 1umped by an outsider. What does the gov­ ernment dO In the caose? Nothing. It does

not take the intruder by the collar of his coat and the seat of his overalls and throw him into the next county, or into jail. NQth­ ing of the kind. It merely sayS to the original claimant, "Your cause is just, but YOU will have to take the matter into the courtS. You have complied with every and ali of the government's mining regulations, but Its mode of proceedure provides that yuu follow the red tape route. Therefore It is impossible to help you, to protect you, ex­ cepting through a decision of the courts." The claimholder, therefore, is forced Into a lawsuit. And, the man with the most money and the best legal talent at his com­ mand, Wins. And this, usually, regardless of the law in the case. This a funny old world, anyhow. You pay for what yOU don't get, and get what you don't pay for. How much more simple Is the Mexican proceedure where the government is the plaintiff, instead of the claim-owner; where the jumper is jailed and subjected to a heavy fine. '---0­

THE STRIKE SITUATION,

The strike at Bingham and Ely can now be classed, almost, as ancient history. It is true that a few of the striking miners stlII keep up a semblance of a strike, at Bingham; but, with the mines running up to near full capaCity this attitude of the men who are "out" is but the last whisper' ings of a lost cause~ The strikers have made some gains in the matter of increased wages, which is a pleasing condition all around; but, the main reason for the strike, the recognition of the union, was entirely Ignored when the differences between the company and the miners were adjusted, if it can be called an adjustment where the company refused, absolutely, to confe,. with the strikers, and where the latter returned to work without arriving at any agreement, whatever. The Utah Copper is steadily reaching the point of regular production, and the whole camp of Bingham is again witnessing its usual activity. At Ely the union called the strike off, and most of the men have returned to work. The trouble at Ely was purely sympathetic, and only a small portion of the men em· ployed favored the strike. As a matter of fact the union leaders called the strike af· ter the men had voted against it. At Ely, also, operations were resumed without the union reaching any agreement with the management of the Nevada Consolidated, at which company the strike was mainly di­ rected. However, wages were increased, although the main object, the recognition of the union, failed, utterly. It is a parody on right and justice when a few men can clo~ the wheels try, and cause a. thl)uf~tl,ds of working . and at Ely lacked

men.:··

success In that they did not reflect the wishes and aims of the rank and file of union 'men, and because of the arbitrary and selfish attitude of their leaders.

• The Prospecto-;­ and His Burl

ITS RECORD ORE OUTPUT,

The Mexican Mining company of the COlllJ.1!tock, In Nevada, reached a new high figure in ore production for October with a total of $92,000, says the San Francisco Journal of Commerce. The high extraction was due to two weeks of stoplng high grade ore. This alone yielded $68,000. The Mexican mill also had a heavy month In value of ore treated, the tonnage reported on the four Saturdays In the month heing 1,626, and the gross value of the heads was $62,620. With a high percentage of extraction obtained, the bullion yield will certainly exceed $50,000 for the period named. For the week ending October 5th, the ore placed In the mill was valued at $17,013; 12th, $9,000; 19th, $22,707; 26th, $13,000. For the Week ending the 12th, the mill was shut down about one-,half the per­ iod, which accounts for the tounage of 271. The sensation of the month has been the rich stringer of ore found on the 2,5011 level of the Sierra Nevada, where the vein was cut Qver two weeks ago by the north drift frO'm ,the south boundary line or the mine. The vein has been foliowed north, with a strong formation, wails clearly de­ fined, but with values low. At the present moment the drift has encountered a fault, but every confidence is expressed that the drive will soon pick up the vein again, this being the history of the drive ever since it left the Mexican workings, and on through Union Con. The significance of this find is the fact that it is far north and east of former workings with a great area of unexplored ground ahead. o The copper production from Alaska in 1911 was 22,314,889 pounds, as compared with 4,311,026 pounds in 1910. The large increase in the output for 1911, according to the United States Geological Survey, 113 due to the entrance of the Copper River dis­ trict into the producing list. The mine pro­ duction of copper for 1911 was 27,267,878 pounds, but a coruddera.ble portion of this had not been smelted at the crose of the year. Important production of copper min Alaska began about 1903, since which time It has been a steadY' contributor of that metal. To the close of 1911 the total pro­ duction of blister copper has been 59,126,334 pounds.

erty In one of the nearby camps. In this he had large bodies of a good grade of mill· ing ore blocked out for extraction and re­ duction, and, if he had been sati13fied rW have made a small fortune along legitimate lines, he had the opportunity in his hands. But, noO, the get-rich·quick bug had infested his s)'lStem, and he wanted to make a kill· ing right away, no matter who was injured or hurt financially. He was tortunate enough to interest a representative of a big and wealthy syndicate in his property, who Wll3 so well pleased With the showing of lowgrade ore in the mine workings that he acquired quite a block of stock In the company. This representative finally de­ .cided to take over the control, and so made up his mind to make one more sampling of the property .before completing the deal. He went out toO the mine, with the owner, and, while he sampled the orbodles the owner would quarter the sample down on a tarpaulin. While so engaged, the owner would introduce a solution oOf chloride of gold into the sample; just enough, he calcu­ lated, to make the ore nIn a few dollars moOre to the ton than what Wll3 really Its actual value. He had done this many times before, and the thing had always worked out all right. In this instance, how· ever, the expert, for some reason, failed to take as large a sample as usual, and the m!ne-ownerhad dumped enough of the so­ l\l)~on into the sample sufficient to saIt an amount four timEllB as great. He was up a stump, but could say nothing It was only when the sample assayed way up into fancy figures that the representative of the syn· dicate began to smell a mouse. Then he had an analYlSis made of the ore, an11, to his surprlse, discovered the presence of chloride; a feature not associated with the character of ore produced in this mine. Then he ~nt over his former samples and found the chloride present in them all. Then he confronted the mine-oOwner with his trick· ery and villany. Cringin'g and crawling he confessed; promised to make goOod, and prayed for forgiveness and .suppression of his rascali'!.y because oOf his family and for the good name he had in society. The ex· pert promised to keep the matter quiet if the mine·owner WoOuld make good, which he did 'by mortgaging his home and by rob­ bing the church funds then in his hands as treasurer. The matter llnally leaked out, however, and it was not long ,before, the goody-goody mine owner <sneaked out of town, leaving his family in distress. A few years later he was discovered in one of the rich gold districts of the noOrth, where he had thrown off his robe of piety and was known as a three-eard monte man and gambler, and a bloated dnmkard. "I want to :tell you, Old Lon'g Ears," con­ cluded the prospector, "every now and then a man salta a mine and gets away with .It. But it is a risky bUSiness- even for...the

most depraved. An honest man would never entertain such a proposition for a minute. As for me I would rather be a busted prospector alI my life than to en· gage in such practices, for I would lose by own self-respect, the confidence of my asso· ciates. and the love and affection of my burro; and there you are, and then some." ----0·--·-­

Clifton Era: N. L. Amster, president of Shannon Copper company, who has recently visited the mine at Metcalf In the Clifton· Morenci district is quoted as saying: "We are opening UP a large area of ore 100 feet below any point at which it has ever before been mined and are taking out ore aver, aging f!>urper cent to five per cent cop­ p;;!r. We have proved the extension of the ore body to a point below the level of the .Catter tunnel, which is a very important development. Kingman Miner: The railroad extension to the Tennessee mine, at Chloride, has been completed and now track laying is going on slowly, the company being unable :to obtain the men necessary to rush the work. As soon as the track is laid the !Needles Mining & Smelting company will lbegin the shipment of !>re to the smeltery 'and a large force of men will be I}ut to work in the mine. The road is also to jbe carried to the bunkers of the Rainbow Mountain Mining company and that prop­ erty will also become a big shipper. Kingman Miner; The Gold Reed Min­ ing and Milling company, composed of H. H .. Shuck, of Oatman, and Bisbee, Ariwna, people, has installed a gasoline 'hoist on the Jupiter group of mines, near the TO'Ill Reed prop;;!rty. and is sinking below the 114 level, expecting to continue to the 660-foot level. The big ledge, that on the surface showed a vein pitch of 80 degrees south, is now pitching 86 degrees to the north and is showing every Indication of becom­ ing a great producer. Mr. Shuck is In charge of the pr!>perty for the company and is making big headway in its development. Bisbee Review: The announcement of an early resumption of operations at the Mowry property near the Duquesne In the Patag!>n1a district Is one of the most im­ pOrtant that has come out of this section for some time past. As soon as some financial details In connection with the present holders of the property, the Stein­ feldt Interests in Tucson, are arranged, the reopenlngl of the property will begin and by some parties here, who worked In th~ Mowry In the past, .It is said that 'much good shipping ore will be taken out and sent to the smelteries. The Mowry has a past record of being a large shipper and it Is believed that new ore bodies will be opened that will give the mine a large dally tonnage. Nogales Oasis: From Oro Blanco comes the information that there has been made a. fine showing in the Republican and Swlt· zerland group of mines, upOn the same ledge as .the Austerlitz, in wbich has been ,1;h~ remarkable development Which has

given new life to the entire region, and caused resU'mption of operations In many properties over there. The main shaft on the Switzerland is in good sulphide ore carrying values In gold, silver and copper. A corporation has been formed, named the Grand Junction Mining company, to take over and op;;!rate the property. The mov­ Ing spirits therein are Doctor A. H. Noon and E. E. Noon of Nogales, Jasper Scriv­ ener of Tucson, L. S. Davis of El Paso, and W. J. Partridge of Oro Blanco. o COLORADO.

Georgetown Courier: In prospecting a small streak of ore about 200 feet back of the breast of the adit on the Kitty Ousley mine, Mr. Knaub, the lessee, has developed a body of ore three feet in . thickness, seemingly of a good grade. It is the In­ tention of Mr. Knaub to follow up bis find, which seems to cross the adit at an angle. Ore Is also coming in at the breast of the adit, the whole width being mineralized. Mr. Knaub Is employing seven men. He has out, ready for shipment, about three ears of ore of the character of the last shipment, which netted $800 for the car· load. Rico Item: An exceedingly fine body ot ore was discovered the first of the week on the Black Hawk claim of the Rico Ar­ gentine group, some distance below where a rich find was made a few weeks ago on that claim. The ore, like that found in the works above it, is of a silver copl}er­ lead character containing a small per cent of zinc. It was found right at the grass roots, where some of the workmen were cutting out a trail that is being made to pack ore from the upper place. The vein has been ol}ened up for quite a distance and is fifteen feet wide, all ore that will pay to shll} crude. Telluride Examiner: J. H_· Litchfield, 'mansger of the Litchfield MIning and Mill­ Ing company, operating on Milk creek, came in from the property this week, bringing with him a nice sample of the general run of the ore that he has opened. It Is char­ acteristic of the ores of Mount Wilson, car­ rying Iron, yellow copper and lead, and looks like a good milling ore. He says that he had milling ore in sight when he organized his company and a considerable body of it. At present he is cross-cutting to get under the body where it is larger and Ol}en it up this winter, so that produc­ tion may begin with the open season next summer. Central City Observer: At the Fron­ tenac mine, one of the 'most important de­ velopments was brought to a. oompletion yesterday. A raise has been put through 1rom the 800-foot level of the Aluddel fol' a distance of 260 feet, which now connects with the bottom of the Frontenae shatt.

This Increases the depth of the Frontenac shaft some 200 feet, the prior depth being 1000 feet. The ore body develol}ed in the upraise averages five feet in width, with the same average values found in the up· per workings. The raise of 260 feet was made in record time, less than six weeks. The management will drive levels in this new ground 130 feet apart, thus increas. ing the average depth of ·backs by 30 feet. Leadville Herald-Democrat: Work on the different claims in Iowa gulch goos on steadily and some good ore is being taken from the different prop;;!rties. At the Long & Derry, from the lower drift, about the same tonnage of high grade lead ore is being shipped steadily, and the prospect work that is being carried on looks very encouraging. At the Ella Beeler tunnel the lessees have again Op;;!ned out the streak of high grade lead-silver ore In the lower tunnel and shipments are again regular. ·Considerable native silver is being found 'Dlixed through the vein, but no effort is being made to save it separately. The up­ per tunnel Is nearing the Houston vein and when cut the lessees are of the opIn­ ion the vein will be as rich as the one In the l!>wer workings. ----10>---­

IDAHO.

Silver City Avalanche: The Banner Mining & Milling company started up its mill Tuesday on a short run for Sullivan and Mattenson on ore frO'm the Ontario claim. There is about 35 tons of ore In this lot and it Is very rich. Several tons of ore from the same prol}6rty was shipped to the smeltery at Salt Lake a few months ago- wbich produced over $400 per ton. The Banner company Is now employing about twenty men. Elk City News: The Knob Hill mine; at Orogrande, owned by Frank Peck, is fast coming to the point where it will be­ come a producer. The Twin Butte mill re­ cently purchased, Is being I}ut In shape, and it is expected that It will be ready to run soon. At the mine the principal wmk is now confined to driving a long cross-cut tunnel, that will tap the veins at a good depth. There is a large tonnage of good ore at the shaft, and a good trail has been 'built to the ore bins above the ·mill. Wallace Miner: The West Nine Mlle, a promising prospect on Nine MIle creek, four miles from Wallace, will be developed to a considera.ble extent during the early Winter, the work including that necessary 1'or assessment, but more extensive, in ac­ cordance with the plans recently declded 'UpOn. The pwperty is anew one, but has been w{)tked in the past, a. tunnel having been carried 400 feet before operationawere abandoned. Mrs. E. HeUer Is the .presldent of the company, and her Bon, George H. Heller, Is secretary and manager.

Wallace Press-Times: The Black Horse M;inlng company, with property in the Murray distrIct, made a strike of extreme importance, when it opened up what is be­ lieved to be the main vein in its No. 2 intermediate tunnel. This vein showed four feet wide with eighteen Inches of solid ore and apparently proves 800 feet of depth to this ore body.

It is expected,' at this company will be ship­ ping ore t the Thompson smeltery by Christmas or soon after. The new bunk house, bo'ardlng house, blacksmith and of­ fice building have been completed. Ely Record: Furnaces 4 and 5 are run­ ning at McGill while Nos. I, 2 and 3 are down. No. 2 is being remodeled and when completed will be the largest furnace In the world. No. 1 has heretofore held this distinction. When edmpleted No. 2 will be 135 feet in length and 19 feet in width. The concrete work for the new roaster stack is In. The brick layers are expected to arrive in a few days, when brick laying will be commenced. The new centrifugal pump recently Installed, Is now pumping from ponds 1 and 2, which wlll be treated over the Craven tables. E'ly Expositor; Charles Magee Is hav­ ing the last of his concentrates from the old Monarch mill dump hauled In, and will ship the lot as soon as the smelter will receive It. He has been working there all summer and has shipped two lots of the concen· trates which totaled .about 68 tons and av­ eraged $40 In value. He Is now leasing the old smeltery dump at Lane <:Iity and, finds, It contains a lot (Jof tailings from jigs

Centennial Post: At the Miner's De­ light, 1. Proteet has made a strike of ore that is declared to gO at least $500 a ton. This is one of the old properties in the dis· trict and has produced well In the past. There was a small stampede over to the property when the facts became known at camp. Centennial Post: Just as soon as the machinery can be hauled In from th'e rail road, the equipment ,for the Mary Ellen at Atlantic will be shipped from Denver. Manager Smith has ordered a 100-ton Den· ver quartz mill, a compressor, one car of pipe and other incidentals that will make altogether a five-car shipment.

Gold and silver predominate, several smaU stringerS having been found which assay up to $100 a ton.

o The Grand Gulch Copper company, of Salt Lake, operating in Mohave county, Ari· zona, is shipping a.bout 12'5 tons of ore per month, returns showing a content of about 17 per cent copper. Since the building of the branch line of the Salt Lake Route ,to St. Thom,as, Nevada, the cost of wagon haul to the nearest railroad shipping point has ,been reduced to a.bout $10.50 per ton, which means a saving of $7.1'iO per ton compared to the cost when shipping from Moapa.: The advance In copper quotations, and,the sav· ing In freight to the railroad, means mUch to the Grand Gulch company, which has about 1,000 ions of good (Jore on the dump readY for transportation to the railroad, as well as a good showing of first-clan ore blocked out in the mine. Manager W. P. Jennings Is now at Grand Gulch, and is not ex,pected home until the latter part of No­ vember.

The find was made on what is virtually the 800­ foot level in the property mentioned, and eonsists of a three-ro'ot north and south vein, two feet of which will run several hundred dollars to the ton, ,prinCipally in gold, while a foot streak in the vein goes as high as $2,000 to the ton. The veins so far worked by the company have been small east and west fissures. The new find, therefore, adds much to the promise of the property, and Its future, and the mana.gement is much elated over the dis'covery,

Information received by the United States Goological Survey indicates that no anti­ mony ore was produced in the United States in 1911, but considera.ble quanti ties o~ anti­ monial lead Were made as a bYcproduct in ,smelting the precious metals, and there was a large recovery of antimony from secondary sourc'ea, such as scrap bearing and type nwtals, antimonial lead, drooses, and solder. And 14,078 tons of antimonial lead contain· ing a total of 2,254 tons of antimonY,valued at $386,786, was produced. The price of anti· mony was 'so low in 1911 that there was lit­ tle enoouragement for Anwrican miners to produce the ore unless it contained other valuable metals. The production of second· ary antimony as antimony in the United States last year was ten short tons; and 2,­ 359 tons was r-ecovered in alloys. The output was valued at $359,040. In 1910 the recovery was 9 and 2,770 tons, respectively, valued at $444,600. o The Colburn mm, in the Cripple Creek district of Colorado, is to resume operations after a shutdown. of three months While the sampling plant was being enlarged.

GOLD AND SILVER IN IDMfO.

There is one town in the west where fuel (coke) costa $46 a ton. This ~3 Ivers, Idaho, the principal local settlement in the Loon Creek mining distric~. This high price, ho~ver, is due to the long haul by wagon from Mackay. the nearest rail­ road point, 110 miles distant. The' route is difficult because of two high summit3 which must be crossed in addition to a three-mile climb. The cost of haulage is two and one-half cents a pound for the round ,trip. When a load can be taken ea.ch way this is spiit into one and one-half cents in and one cent out. The Loon Creek dt3trict comprises an a.rea of perhaps seventy-five square mlles situated in the north~stern part of CUil­ ter county, Idaho. Placers which are va­ riously estimated to have produced from $500,000 to $2.000,000 in gold were worked actively on Loon Creek, during the decade closing with 1879. Most of the white men in the camp, attracted by other placer excitements, left the creek in the middle -3eventies, but thirty or for:y Chinamen re­ mained. In 1879 alJ of these were mass­ acred save one, who escaped on snow­ shoes. At that time it was commonly sup­ posed that Indians committed the deed, but now it is the prevalent opinion tha~ white men were guilty. Since then com· paratively little mining haa been done on the creek, though all the promising ground is held as placer claims. In the placers the gold as a rule is coarse, nuggets weigh­ ing more than an ounce being not uncom­ ll\'On. This gold has a m~rket value of eightoon dollars an ounce. As a whole. the di·3trict is inadequately prospected and min· ing is in an initial state. Among the lode deposits those of gold-eopper and silver­ lead are most promiSing. The Lost Packer is the most promdnent mine of the dis­ trict and has recently produced much gold and copper, the orea containing from $20 to $80 a ton. Lodes of lead-silver have also been found in the district. but they are not adequately developed. The ore found in them, however, is of excellent grade, being in many places clean galena carrying from 60 to 100 ounces of silver to the ton An investigation of the Loon Creek dis· trict was made by Josep·h B. Umpleby, ot ~he United States Geological Survey, in 1911, and hi.s report has just been pub­ lished by the Survey as Bulletin 530·G. This bulletin also contains a report of aq examination or the St. Joe-Clearwater region, Idaho, made by D. C. Calkins and E. L. Jones. jr.
